I know these past few months have been hard. Fear has run rampant as it took advantage of uncertainty. It preyed on people's emotions and fed them spoonfuls of worry. Forced out of self-set schedules, unstableness tried to set up camp amidst the chaos of crisis.
May I remind you that when the enemy comes in like a flood, I, the Spirit of the Lord, lift up a standard against him. Old ways are being un-done. New ways are just ahead.
In the meantime, wait with purpose.
Wait, as I dismantle self-made structures. Wait, as I shed light on evil behaviors. Wait, and pray in one accord for the healing of the world.
As you wait, incline your ear to hear My voice of truth. Lean into Me and ask what this means for you. With new ways, come new assignments; assignments that need My power.
Beloved, wait with purpose.
As you wait, give Me your fears and uncertainty.
Give Me your best-laid plans.
Give Me your old ways.
Give Me your heart.
Give Me your all.
Give Me your "YES!"
Give Me your empty vessels made ready for more oil.
Beloved, wait with purpose.
SUNDAY'S COMING.
So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59:19
I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." Luke 24:49
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:1-4
